The Mississippi Power of Attorney Forms are legal documents designed to allow one person, known as the Attorney-in-Fact or Agent, to act on behalf of another person, known as the Principal. While there are many variations on these agreements, some of them extremely specific, they usually cover financial or medical decisions.

What kind of form the Principal will need depends on what powers they want to surrender to the Attorney-in-Fact and what conditions the agreement will go into and remain in effect. The most common of these variations are Springing or Non-Springing, determining whether the agreement will go into effect immediately upon being signed or when the Principal is declared incapacitated, and Durable or Non-Durable, determining if the Attorney-in-Fact will retain their powers after the Principals incapacitated.
